    • If you do not have a suitable socket and fuse conforming with this, please ensure the work is carried out by a qualified electrician.
    • We do not take responsibility for damage that occurs due to the use of ungrounded equipment.

Kernau KFWM 8423 I - ELECTRICAL CONNECTION - 2

NOTE

Operating your machine with low voltage will cause the life cycle of your machine to be reduced and its performance to be restricted.

WATER INLET HOSE CONNECTION

1 2 3/4" 10 mm 3 4

  • Your machine may have either a single water inlet connection (cold) or double water inlet connection (hot and cold) depending on the machine specifications. The white capped hose should be connected to cold water inlet and red capped hose to the hot water inlet (if applicable).
  • To prevent water leaks at the joints, either 1 or 2 nuts (depending on your machine's specifications) are supplied in the packaging with the hose. Fit these nuts to the end(s) of the water inlet hose that connect to the water supply.

- Connect new water inlet hoses to a 3/4" , threaded tap.

- Hand tighten the connections. If in any doubt, consult a qualified plumber.

• Water flow with pressure of 0.1-1 Mpa will allow your machine to operate at optimum efficiency (pressure of 0.1 Mpa means that more than 8 litres of water per minute will flow through a fully opened tap).

- Once you have made all of the connections, carefully turn the water supply on and check for leaks.

- Ensure that the new water inlet hoses are not trapped, kinked, twisted, folded or crushed.

• Make sure the door is fully closed, otherwise the programme will not start.

ADDING DETERGENT TO THE MACHINE

The amount of detergent you will need to put in your machine will depend on the following criteria:

• If your clothes are only slightly soiled, do not pre-wash. Put a small amount of detergent (as specified by the manufacturer) into compartment II of the detergent drawer.

• Using the amounts of detergent recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging prevents excessive foam formation and poor rinsing.

• If your clothes are excessively soiled, select a programme with pre-wash and put 14 of the detergent to be used into compartment I of the detergent drawer and the rest in compartment II

- Use detergents produced for automatic washing machines. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the amount of detergent to use.
